This book was released on 1998 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The data collected in Portugal was used as well to evaluate the model for alluvial and sandy soils, under Portuguese conditions. This study showed that RZWQM can be used to simulate soil water content and atrazine concentrations in the soil profile, under two different hydrologic conditions. Computer models should be easy to use, however, most of the available models are not very user friendly, making its use difficult and not appealing to the user. An interface between RZWQM and ArcView GIS was developed to simplify the data input in RZWQM, account for spatial variability in the model, and enable the user to visualize model output.
